LGBT charity Stonewall has published a five-year plan to help trans people live free from discrimination. A Vision For Change: Acceptance Without Exception For Trans People was created in consultation with hundreds of members of the UK trans community.

Proposed changes include revisions of the Gender Recognition Act and Equality Act, legal recognition for non-binary people and a genderneutral “X” option on passports. The document also calls for the improved representation of trans people in the media and a greater public awareness about transphobic hate crime.
